Rating:  - Awesome
It is really cool how you get to know all the places where Chuck Palahniuk got his inspiration. You will want to visit Portland after this, you should be able to finish it in one sitting.The perfect thing to hold you over until DIARY comes out.
Rating: - Palahniuk's Hometown View
Reading this travelogue makes one feel as though they now know the hidden side of Portland, Oregon that is really out in the open for all to experience. Palahniuk acts as a tour guide through Portland and the surrounding areas pointing out places of interest that one would not find in a typical travel guide. From haunted places, to Chuck's favorite restaurants, to quirky museums and wanton sex clubs, everything is here. There are even guides to local zoos and gardens. Thoughout, Palahniuk makes these places come alive to the reader through the narrative and history that he gives.Between each section of the book, Chuck gives the reader a little glimpse into his life at various points from 1980 to the present. While this is not a true autobiography, it gives little glimpses into the life of the man who has given us such great novels. I found these excerpts to be the most interesting and enjoyable parts of the book. While this isn't the usual Palahniuk fiction, it is a wonderful read and an insight into Palahniuk and the city he calls home.
Rating:  - Almost perfect
Fans of Chuckie P. will not be disappointed with this book on Portland. As anticipated, it is a hilarious book telling details of a Portland that most of us do not know.Chuck describes all the things you can do in Portland but were afraid to ask (and even more afraid now that you know they exist.) He even has a detailed map, listing items like "place where Chuck got beat up.") Included are destails of the Vacuum Museum and haunted houses. Particularly entertaining is the section of the sex industry in Portland, which seems to be the main industry if you read this book correctly. The only thing missing are the tidbits of Chucks life (those little autobiographical items that would satisfy his loyal fans.) It is still worth buying no matter what. This is another great book from prolific Chuck!
